Bubba Wallace’s move to 23XI Racing — the team co-owned by basketball legend, six-time NBA champion and Hall of Famer Michael Jordan as well as current NASCAR Cup Series driver Denny Hamlin — is one of the most-anticipated items of the upcoming 2021 NASCAR season.

Since the team’s formation, additional announcements revealing the car number, name, manufacturer alliance and founding partners have been made.

On Saturday, Wallace dropped an initial look at his helmet for the 2021 season with DoorDash featured as the primary partner on this design.

The 2021 NASCAR Cup Series season will mark 23XI Racing’s first in the sport with the organization’s debut coming in February at Daytona International Speedway.

The Allgaier family will be making way for a new addition in 2021 as Justin and his wife Ashley both took to Twitter on New Year’s Day to reveal her pregnancy.

The couple is expecting what they are calling the “tiniest gator” — in honor of Justin’s “Little Gator” nickname in May of 2021. Daughter Harper was born in 2013.

Allgaier is set to begin his sixth season at JR Motorsports in 2021. He was the runner-up finisher in the standings in 2020 and has 11 wins over the last four Xfinity Series seasons.

The new year is off to a banner start for Kyle Busch Motorsports driver Chandler Smith.

Smith revealed on Twitter shortly after midnight on Jan. 1 that he was engaged.

The offseason was already off to a big start for Smith when KBM announced last month that he would drive the No. 18 Toyota full time in 2021. Veteran crew chief Danny Stockman will be atop the box for Smith.

The 18-year-old Georgia native has made 16 starts over the past two seasons for KBM with eight top fives and nine top 10s in those efforts in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. He closed the 2020 season with five top fives in his final six starts.
